Orthanc error anonymize

We’ve running orthanc in an EC2 instance. After uploading a dicom it is anonymized, at least we try. However we consistently get the same error:

E1129 16:23:32.437779 OrthancException.cpp:58] The specified path does not point to a regular file: The path does not point to a regular file: /var/lib/orthanc/db/b7/9b/b79be01e-d3e8-4449-9211-c66935328493

W1129 16:23:32.446895 ResourceModificationJob.cpp:197] An error occurred while executing a Modification job on instance d182d2a0-806281c9-d7616b12-1f414532-f3f3bac0: The path does not point to a regular file: /v328493

Some details:

  • the dicom size is 1.2Gb

  • it contains 6k+ images

  • instance mem, cpu, disk-space are monitored and don’t indicate a problem

And the nicest of them all:

  • it works on my machine

Does anybody has any clue what the problem might be here, or even where to look?

Hi Nacho,

The error message indicates that one of the files is missing from the Orthanc storage which also explains why it works on your machine since the file is probably there on your machine.

Of course, files are not supposed to disappear by themselves so it’s very difficult to explain why it would be missing. Change of access rights ? Backup recovery ? …

HTH,

Alain

Thank you for your reply Alain.

The problem happened when uploading a file. For this we where using a testing environment with 10G data-storage.
With the 1.2Gb file, we did see the storage usage grow from 10% to around 80% before it went down to 40%.
Our guess was that the storage size had something to do with it, so we enlarged it to 20Gb and the problem went away.
I’ve had to guess there was a short-liveddisc-full problem which is not visible in the system metrics or the service logs.
